Early Monastic Buddhism v1.c11.49

v1.c11.49

In the Lalitavistara, the skandhas are spoken of as devoid of self incidentally, but there is no separate discourse on it as is found in the Vinaya Piṭaka. In the Lalitavistara, however, there is an additional section dealing with the Mahāyānic interpretation of the Dharmacakra. It is introduced by Maitreya Bodhisattva¹ to whom the Dharmacakra is explained as the teaching which establishes the oneness of all objects and the absence of any concept, positive or negative, as well as the absence of the origin of so-called things of the world.
